The “2025 Changing Federal Landscape Community” is a dedicated space for research administrators to connect, collaborate, and navigate the evolving landscape of policies and regulations with the federal government. This community serves as a hub for sharing insights, discussing new regulations, and providing support as we adapt to ongoing changes in research administration. Whether you're looking for updates, solutions to policy challenges, or a space to engage with peers, this community is designed to help research administrators stay informed and empowered in their roles. Join us as we work together to understand and respond to the latest policy shifts impacting the research admin community. NCURA members and non-members can join the community.
